Board adopts consent agenda: first-quarter finances, three budget amendments and personnel report
Summary
The board adopted the consent agenda including the first-quarter financial report, three budget amendments and transfers (including a $416,217.07 general fund amendment tied to a CTE grant carryover), personnel report showing 1,416 applicants and hires, and a threat assessment summary.
The White County Board of Education adopted its consent agenda Thursday, approving the district's first-quarter financial statements, three budget amendments and transfers, the personnel report and a monthly threat-assessment update.
Chief finance staff reported the financial position for the period ending Sept. 30, 2025. The presentation said the combined fund balance across all funds stood at $15,000,602,176 compared with a beginning balance of $20,405,104 and noted that early-year revenue collections are typically lower in the first quarter. The report identified higher expenditures related to a one-time state-authorized bonus and front-loaded salary and benefit payments. The central cafeteria fund showed a slight increase year over year and was at 52 percent of its budget, reflecting usual front-end purchasing activity.
District staff described three budget amendments and transfers included in the packet. The general purpose fund amendment (Fund 141) totaled $416,217.07 and includes carryover from a CTE Innovative School Models grant; roughly $247,000 of that amount remained unspent and was earmarked for capital building improvements tied to the grant (including a planned culinary space upgrade at the career academy). The board was told plan B would renovate existing culinary space if external legislative or grant support for a separate culinary spot did not materialize. The packet also documented a $100,000 reclassification for a new state coding line for paid parental leave and a small placeholder amount to account for anticipated state on-behalf payments in regular and special education.
The personnel report in the consent packet showed 1,416 total applicants received year-to-date, 52 interviews and a low interview no-show rate (six). Board members described full staffing on bus routes and classrooms as a positive sign. The monthly threat-assessment report noted six open cases in September, five of which were closed, and one case remained under monitoring.
All consent-agenda items were approved in a single voice vote; no items were pulled for separate discussion.
